/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

People, it is with great sadness I come to the conclusion that we are the mirror universe.
If Vulcans landed, we would absolutely board their ship and take everything we can.
Kill them, board the ship, take everything we can, attempt to reverse engineer it, find tech that could make life instantly better for over 90% of the population to end world hunger and instantly cure countless diseases injuries and ailments...but instead they patent it and hold back 100 years of progress while some people get obscenely rich
If you believe some of the UAP testimony, the government has actual craft and biological remains.
It’s difficult to get excited about though because our timeline seems too boring and dumb for that.
…and if it IS true, I think you are correct about how a huge benefit to humanity would be held back. But just as likely as the profit motive would be turning it into weapons rather than using it to revolutionize society.
No they don't.
I'm sorry, aliens are flying here from light years away or other dimensions in the most advanced space craft known to exist, only to crash and get caught almost immediately?
I'm sure they helped build the pyramids too
I didn’t say I believed them, lol.
But let’s be real here. These hypothetical aliens share the same timeline as us. They would absolutely be the ones to master FTL travel just in time to drive into a rock on the other end.
Going interstellar distances just to crash into a tiny rock would be some impressive fuckery. Murphy couldn't even envision that.
